Monday October 31st. 1 pm. This really shows how our GAA top brass can identify a winner early. Certainly a pic. for the hallway!
There will be a very important club meeting on tomorrow night, Tuesday, at 8.30. Items for discussion include County board funding (which could be a headache T.C.); County Board Annual Convention and motions to it (one I would suggest is that the All-Ireland finals be brought forward by 2 weeks to facilitate earlier club championship conclusion); and the preliminary set up details of the Annual Club Quiz, which is moving to the hall and will carry with it the weight of a real Christmas social occasion for those at home and those coming home for Christmas.
For those who may be interested please note that the Co. board has four employment positions on their web site so see if that has any possibilities for you.
The following were €20 winners at the Club Lotto draw which was held in Wynnes's Bar on Saturday night last;- Michael Costello, Joe McGoldrick, Tommy and Monica King, Carmel and Gerard Tivnan, Vincent McDonagh, Geraldine Daly, Declan McQuaid, Kevin McDonagh, Mae Verdan and Doreen Caldbeck. The house prize was won by Colette Taylor-Greene. The jackpot wasn't won and it will stand at €4,500 for the next draw which will be held in Mattimoe’s on this Saturday night. Team ‘B’ will be in charge.
The National Automation Limited U21s played Clan na Gael in the second round of the Division 1 Championship on Monday-see results. They have one outstanding game in the group stages of this competition-against Padraig Pearses. The Club extends best wishes to Pearses in the Connacht Intermediate Final on Saturday next.
The minors still await their league semi final opponents. There will be an important Club meeting in the Clubroom on this Tuesday at 8.30pm. It is essential that there is a full attendance as it will make arrangemnets for the forthcoming Christmas Quiz, end of year presentations and the County Board funding proposals.
The Club extends its congratulations to former club player Damien Keenehan who recently captained the Victoria State to the All Australion Football Championship title. Congratulations also to the Boyle Golf Club and to our former Treasurer Michael Gilmartin (pictured above with the President elect and another V.I.P.) who played a major role in the preparation of a wonderful history of the first century of Golf Club and indeed an excellent resume of the sporting and social history of Boyle in general.
The Club compliments the organisers of the most successful Boyle ‘Town and More’ event at the weekend. Certainly there was a great turn out in the complex on Sunday and a lot of positivity emanating from same. Perhaps Boyle GAA could have had a stand there if we had been, perhaps, more in tune with the social element of the expo. Next time, and St. Patrick’s Day, perhaps. Also those who were involved in the very succesful 'Back to Boyle' week-end of a couple of years ago (The Virginian and all that) might bear in mind that there is going to be a big national push towards attracting the 'diaspora' home to visit through 2013 so they might get reinvigorated for that. I know from talking to people that the 'Back to Boyle' week-end was very well thought of. Of course these things can only happen with decent time intervals etc. It is nice to see the fine facilities like the Complex and the Hall being so central to these events and so well regarded as ideal venues. Don't forget (now that I've drifted to general commentary) Boyle Musical society's annual offering which this year is, 'Beauty and the Beast'. This begins on Wednesday the 16th until Sunday the 20th.
The performance of the week-end- for me (T.C.)- was the win of James Stephen’s (The Village) over Ballyhale Shamrock’s (Henry and Co.) in the Kilkenny hurling final replay. I was at the draw which was played in terrible conditions and the pundits felt that the star studded Shamrock’s would take it and certainly the replay but……they didn’t.
If you are interested in Scor participation contact Martin Dolan. The ladies GAA had their Halloween Fancy Dress Ball last night.
Sympathy is extended to the Beirne Family, Boyle on the death of Mrs. Philomena Sharkey, Tibohine.
Go raibh maith agaibh,
